    I looked at both websites and I loved what you did with the new one! It really sets you apart and looks very professional!

        Thanks everyone, I'm very excited about it! I'm having trouble though because CL won't let me use the URL I think because it contains wix.com in it and they won't allow a commercial websie in your ad. I never had a problem with my old URL from the domain I owned.

        Thoughts around this? I'd really like to be able to just continue with the free version as it is.

          I really like your website!! The only thing that I would change a little is the About Us page. You start out in the corner talking about "We" and then go right into "I" without stating who is actually writing that part. I know someone could figure it out but not until the very end. I would either write a short Bio about both of you and have each name above your own bio, or if your mom (assuming you are Becky?) doesn't want a Bio then I would just "sign" your name at the bottom of yours.

          I would also probably change the last sentence to "After twenty years as an elementary school teacher and close to finishing her doctorate degree, my mom Becky is now my full time partner. Together we make a talented team of best friends." It's a little more personal I think and it reiterates the fact that you are a mom and daughter team.

            Totally not nit-picking, but I found a couple more spelling bloopers.

            Under "Family Style Community" in your "Program" tab, the 7th bullet item should be spelled sepArate. It is repeated on the same tab - 2nd bullet item under "Excellent Infant Care".

            I also noticed that you advertise "no sippy cups", yet have a picture of a cutie girl slicing cheese with a sippy cup sitting next to her. Maybe I misunderstood, or the definition of "sippy cup" isn't what I thought it was.

            Just bringing these things up so your site can be even more awesome than it already is!! I ADORE your facility, home, or whatever it is. It's beautiful. Great job on the website.

              I don't think you're nit-picking, that's why I posted it hoping for fresh eyes to catch mistakes. Thank you so much I'll go fix those errors! I agree about the bio, I'll add my name so people know who's "speaking". I'm Tammy by the way, the younger pic.

              You're right, thanks for the sippy cup catch! We do not use sippy cups, but that pic was from my very first days of daycare when I let parents send them in. We don't allow them anymore. Thanks! PS, that was a boy toddler! LOL! He's now a year and half older and had a haircut.

              Also, someone said I should have my phone number on the contact page. Should I???

                I think that is a personal decision to be honest. I do not list my phone number on my site either. I list the address/location and a contact form like yours but I don't list a phone number.

                I'd rather people contact me through e-mail verses the phone for the first or initial contact.

                  Lol. That's actually what I meant to write but got mixed up when going back and forth between the two sites...



                  Edit: The only other things I noticed were under the Program tab. Do you have a dedicated nap room and a dedicated play room or are they the same room? If there are 2 rooms then I would pluralize the word "room". (Dedicated play and nap rooms)
                  Also, under Structured Activities I would change pizzas to pizza.

                  And when you're finished with all that, wanna make a website for me? ::

                      I liked both of the sites but I like the layout of the second one better

                      I don't have a lot to add I think the others picked up on some great things you have fixed already.

                      Just try to step back and pretend to be a parent looking for a provider and seeing the site. Did you see everything you wanted to see?? Did it leave you with any questions??

                      That's what I did when I made my website.

                      My parents love my website, I'm on the edge about it, I need to do something different with it. The kids love the video and songs sects because they can see it from their parents I phones in the car etc and they sing to them to and from daycare .

                      But still, I'm going to have to do something different. I definitely need to update the picture on the banner as well.

                          Super cute! I totally love your outdoor space, so nice!!


                          I did notice two small errors, on the "Our Program" page:
                          "Seperate toddler and infant nap rooms" should be "Separate toddler and infant nap rooms"
                          "Clmbers, slides, clubhouse, sandbox" should be "Climbers, slides, clubhouse, sandbox"

                          Looks awesome though! I need to go through mine now!

                              Do you want to know what I like best about your daycare?
                              You are in Ohio and are no competition to me!
